Keen adopts Texbase quality control & compliance solution

Intelligent and intuitive, the TEXbase solution enables the collection, standardization, and end-to-end visibility of quality and compliance information and intelligence across KEEN’s user and supply base.

Aligned with the KEEN product development, quality management and compliance teams, along with KEEN suppliers and independent testing labs, the TEXbase materials and quality management solution allows KEEN to easily define and manage performance and compliance standards with clarity and certainty.

TEXbase compliance solutions ensure CPSIA and Certificate of Compliance requirements are met as a natural outcome of the materials and quality management solution, while sustainability objectives are achieved with the support of RSL Guardian, the TEXbase restricted substance management solution.

Jim Vander Velden, Vice President and CTO, KEEN said, “At KEEN, we’re dedicated to making the best products that will enable our fans to enjoy the outdoors, while working towards the goal of building stronger communities and a healthier planet.

"TEXbase offers a proven path towards fulfilling our product integrity and compliance requirements, which means we’re better able to track materials that go into our footwear in an efficient and cost effective way. This gives our development team the power to make informed decisions to ensure we deliver high-quality, durable, and safe products to our fans.”

Wayne Huyard, President and CEO, TEXbase said, “TEXbase is honored to work with KEEN. KEEN’s use of TEXbase will be a powerful example of how our solution helps brands create great product experiences for their customers. TEXbase is committed to deliver the most distinct product integrity solutions to KEEN and the rest of the apparel, footwear and consumer products industries.”
